U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA), ranking member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, has requested information from federal agencies under the HELP Committee’s jurisdiction on their plans to comply with the Supreme Court's recent decision to overturn Chevron deference. Cassidy is seeking details on how these agencies will implement laws as intended by Congress and adhere to all Committee oversight requirements.
“For too long, Chevron deference allowed unelected bureaucrats, insulated from political accountability, to exercise power that exceeds their authority. Such unfettered power is a perversion of the Constitution,” said Dr. Cassidy. “The Supreme Court’s decision helps return the role of legislating back to the people’s elected representatives.”
Cassidy specifically addressed his inquiries to the Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Education, Department of Labor, Food and Drug Administration, National Labor Relations Board, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and Employee Benefits Security Administration.
